of the bottom, which appeared to be as
white as sand could bemade. Tie water
near the bank averages from fifteen TO
thirty feet deep for about $50 miles,
and ne could see thousands of pieces of
sponge on the clear bottom, of all kinds
and sizes, making it very pretty. The
sponge gathering along the coast is an
immense industry, as thousands of
pounds of it are gathered annually. We
were on these banks Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday. About 10 o'clock
we passed off the bank, and got out in
deep water. On Thursday evening at 4
p. m, between the Bahama reefs, and
the shoals on the cost of Cuba, which are
about twenty miles across from one
shoal to the other, a terrific storm struck
US, and ragged with great fury until ga.
m. the next morning. About O'Clock
at night, and one of the darkest ever
saw, the vessel became manageable.
The wind was so furious that it had
broken the ropes Of some of the sails.
The sails we're down dragging in the
water, and the vessel drifting rapidly
towards the shoals, which was not more
than six miles of. It ia wonderful with
what accuracy competent mariner can
tell by his chart and compass almost the
exact position the vessel occupies. The
Captain we'll knew should the vessel
strike these coraf reefs she would 60 to
pieces instantly, and the crew all saw
and understood the situation. DR.. Taber
and myself were shut up In our cabin,
but We heard the Captain call his mate,
and ask him what was to be done. He
answered he did not know as they were
doing everything they could. The Cap

At this juncture, Johnnie, who |,

Guy were getting sleepy, and they be-
gan pulling at their papa. He tried
to get them away from him, but they
chung the closer.
ada, can't you stop that baby's
lyelling?" he loudly shouted.
Ada got some boiled milk, and Mr..
Howard fed il to the little fe low and
he soon WENT to sleep, much to hi
papa's relief. But Robert and Guy
kept up an incessant strain of sobs and
screams.
"Will you never stop?" cried the
father, who was thoroughly aroused.
"l'll go down stairs and leave you I'D
here by yourselves" and he started
down stairs. The children, fearing he
would leave them by themselves,
started after him-Ada, Johnnie,
Robert and Guy-all of them crying
"Stop that noise, or l will leave you
and go up town" At this the chill
dren cried the harder. Mr.. Howard
sat down on the top step of the stairs
and watched his children cry.

They stood around, poking their
little fists in their eyes, and sobbing at
intervals. 1t was now half.past ten.
"Well," thought Mr.. Howard, II
might as well sit here until Kate comes,
and watch these youngsters to keep
them from getting away"
He did not have to wait long. Mrs.
Howard approached the house smil-

his wife came up the steps.
"Never mind, darling" she said,
kissing him. II anticipated all this.

Mrs. Howard soon put things in

When dinner was announced, Mr..

letter to the Collector Of Customs al
New York in regard to the question
whether schedule Of tare might safe
ly be prescribed for all sugars i'm
ported in hogsheads, tierces or bags.
Judge Maynard says that in view Of
the great variations between different
lots Of the same kind of packages, the
department concurs with the Collector
at New York in the opinion than an
uniform rate of tare on hogsheuds,
,ierces or bags containing sugars is
not only impracticable, but voulu re-
suit in disadvantage to the Govern
ment for the reason that the importer
would still have a right to claim ac-
tual tare.
